Secede in te ipsum
I once had a blog that I titled “Secede in te ipsum”. I was reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it was talking about the need to retreat within ourselves so that we can know ourselves.

The importance of lament
“A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.” – Jeremiah 31:15 These words definitely hit me like a ton of bricks. These last couple of days, my heart has been breaking and grieving. Hearing… Continue reading

Wednesday Writings
Hi everyone, I’m thinking of adding a new component to this blog entitled “Wednesday Writings.” Basically, this is a time for me to post some of the writings I have written (and potentially the writings of other people!). So to start it off, I wanted to share a poem I wrote a long time ago.… Continue reading

“For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God.” – Thomas à Kempis Continue reading
